Eric Chavez progress nicely
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(6:47 pm ET) Diamondbacks third baseman
Eric Chavez has recovered well from a right oblique injury, and he told MLB.com Tuesday he could begin a minor-league rehab assignment soon. Chavez has been able to take part in most baseball activities in recent days.
"Everything has been good -- hitting, running, throwing," Chavez said. "I didn't know really what to expect, but [it's] gone really good."
Chavez has been out since May 30, and thinks he will only need a few days of rehab to get his timing back once he is healthy enough to go out.
"I told [manager Kirk Gibson] as far as timing is concerned, I don't need much," Chavez said. "For me, it will be more how does a check swing feel, how does a swing and miss feel, how does a 2-0 swing feel, all that stuff more than my timing. It doesn't take me long. I've only been out three weeks or whatever, so it's not going to take long."
